The company doesn't care if the stock price hits $1. If the company is paying it's bills, it just continues. It's the people who hold shares that care. The company doesn't hold shares in itself.

Enron collapsed because the company financials collapsed, not because the stock price collapsed. That happened after all the bad accounting practises and hidden debt came to light. Now, in that case the shareholders succeeded in suing for their losses, but they only had a case because of the mismanagement.

It would, but that's a very broad term. I expect they were trying to be specific, but only succeeded in being forgiving in the headline.

They'd struggle to pardon someone in the UK.

And the people he's buying headphones for, he probably wants to move out so he can buy their properties. I suspect their might be a tad of malicious gift giving here.

No. Don't buy them. The reason those are grounded is because maintenance is too expensive even for the country of manufacture. No other country will be any better off.

F35 is a money pit.

Ok, but how do you cook a sausage that big?

I'd be a lot more proud if you could help me out of this fucking chimney.

Reminder: the claim that Bob Crachits pay, when adjusted for inflation, is twice the American minimum wage gets economists so wound up that they try to argue that he was comparitively paid well despite not being able to feed his family at Christmas.
